forget flow rider
more like ''low rider''
is cutting a coil off technically safe ?
cos my rear lowering springs are way too short. Was thinking of cutting a couple of coils of the standard spring

Re: MK2 Fiesta Ghia.*Update* - Low and Slow.
Nothing new to update im afraid. I started a new job at the beginning of the month and today is meant to be my first payday so fingers crossed they dont screw it up. Now ive got some money coming in I can go ahead with all my plans and get the car how I want it before FITP 2011. Saturday im picking up an XR2 exhaust that someone on XRtwo.com kindly donated and that will hopfully be fitted sunday/next week. Ive been eying up a couple of sets of new wheels. In January im going to order some gaz coilovers (Hopfully they will send me the right ones ) and a set of new tyres 175/50/13. The arches will be rolled around the same time. Other small things will be order soon like yellow headlight bulb covers, bonnet bra and a chrome rood rack.

my rs turbo lump pops and bangs like a taliban with a ak on rundown towards roundabouts to the point im sure it spits flames here and there
nice little bit of popping from a 1.1 but you might wanna do ya tappets buddy anyway without derailing the thread,

No real plans for the engine as im putting money aside for an RS Turbo will still doing bits to the MK2. I might put some bike carbs on next summer just because its a cheap and fun modification.
